Hi, I keep getting this error:
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = "ISO8859-1", LANG = (unset) are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
I've looked at the locale man page and such, but am frankly clueless about how to set this up correctly. Here's the output of perl -V:
